Read across 1841–1875, the Phrenological Almanac is the Fowler & Wells popular annual — phrenology in almanac form, aimed squarely at the general reader. Its content is the cerebral organs and named faculties, craniology, and the commercial apparatus of charts and self-improvement, packaged in the cheap, wide-circulation almanac genre. It shows how thoroughly practical phrenology penetrated ordinary American life: not a learned journal but a household annual, spreading the map of the faculties and the promise of self-knowledge to a mass readership.
